Terrible customer service experiences

I have been a customer of Xfinity (mostly internet) for over 12 years and while service performance is good, the customer support and experience is beyond terrible. 

  1. Websites are really slow (have been for years)
  2. By design, it is made impossible to connect to a person to get help. Phone redirects to chat and chat first avoids connecting with agent and then connects with folks in India (who have limited to no abilities to help). 
  3. You get logged out randomly, agents in India lie, make up answers, dodge questions, put you on long holds, etc. while still being unable to actually resolve your issue. 

I can write chapters on the details of my experiences but my level of frustrations for this terribly incompetent service are already very high. 

I have written to Tom Karinshak, President and Chief Customer Experience Officer at Comcast (email I used was [Edited: "Personal Information"]) but his office obviously made sure to have someone call me to lave a message that they would like to send me a pre-paid visa card (instead of listening or resolving my issue). The caller sounded completed uninterested and was reading their script so fast as they likely had a list of folks they need to send visa cards too. 

Sharing my experience here with others for visibility and I can dive into the comical details here with saved transcripts of some of the chats.

@XfinityKei​ You are only using yet another script but if you are willing to listen and help I can share the detailed transcripts of my chats and describe my issue. Please provide a contact number or someother means to connect with you since this is a public forum, I do not want to paste my personal information here.

Terrible!!!!! I just got extorted for $350.53!!!! All started with trying to save money & cancel service. I had no contract but they somehow managed to extort me for services I didn't even receive. All because I need their high speed Internet. If I didn't need the Internet I wouldn't have given them anything!! Everytime I called to talk to an agent, they saw something else or didn't see that at all & gave me different numbers every time! A bunch of lying crooks!! God don't like ugly!!!!

user_m273s6 Thanks for posting on our community forums. I'm sorry to hear about your experience and we'd like to help. Is this related to an Xfinity Mobile service or residential? What's the $350.53 charge for?

Xfinity also forced me to pay a Payment arrangement early for $443.86 after I was told multiple times I could be put on a payment plan. I called multiple times trying to get a refund only to be lied to again and eventually told I wasn’t getting a refund. You all should be ashamed of yourselves. I also contacted “Tom” and I want my money back. I also canceled my service because I was tired of this [Edited: "Language"]. You all prey on all of us and treat us like absolute [Edited: "Language"] and we are tired of it. Give us all what we are owed! I want my MONEY BACK NOW!!!
